Cephas Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 DrMoShen - I have an AXIS that has had the factory stereo removed. The entire plastic dash surround has been replaced with a new one that takes a double DIN unit. It doesn't quite colour match, but you wouldn't notice at first. I've got an Eclipse CD5030 head unit installed that works really well. The radio is hooked up to the factory antenna and the reception is good. You just need an adapter to combine the two antennas.

Cephas Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 It was recommended by the installer (http://www.fhrxstudios.com.au/) It talks well to 3G iPhones, and has a very adjustable EQ.

DrMoShen Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 so have you found one you want to buy yet? I know what I want. I've just got to wait until one comes up. I'm probably going to be stuck with the car (for better or worse) for 10 years so I've got to make sure I'm happy with it.

Jetwreck Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 (edited) OK so we all now have a stock item we can buy off the shelf here in Australia rather than going the whole Japan or US route. A couple of months ago Danny(for those that know him) approached HDI to get them to develop an intercooler kit to suit the M35 in Australia. Those kits are now available from HDI as a bolt on production run item. Please note that like all business's if they don't get the sales they will drop it from there line up. The kit uses the latest technology in IC's being the GT2 core. It's made a huge difference from the bottom end through the midrange to the top end in my car. It also has an awesome displacement of heat even in 40 degree weather. Kit pricing as follows but will need to be confirmed with Jason at HDI: *Full kit with IC, all piping, clamps and fan - $899 *IC only - $450 *There is a cheaper option but you will have to talk to HDI directly. http://www.hybrid-power.com/index.php P.S. More photo's are available just PM me though.

euroequip Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I think for the extra cost ($200 extra) that I will go with a Blitz FMIC kit through Just Jap even if its just for piece of mind.

scotty nm35 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I would say the GT2 core with its extruded fins would sh*t all over the blitz folded fin core for flow and cooling. I suggest you research the pro's and cons of each before the purchace.

I suggest you research the pro's and cons of each before the purchace. +1. I did a bit of digging into this one as I am looking for a FMIC upgrade. Can't comment on the temp drop that each cooler performs, but regarding pressure drop (efficiency of the core - less is better) Blitz CS - roughly 1psi pressure loss at 20psi HDi - 0.2psi pressure loss at 20psi (claimed) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/185569-m35-info/page/30/#findComment-5035745 Share on other sites More sharing options...
3PointJ Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Hey Folks (1st Post) Just like to say a big thanks in advance for all the helpful information in here. My partner and I are looking into buying an M35 Stagea (hopefully either and Axis or AR-X) and reading through this has cleared some questions up automatically. I can't wait to get down to Sydney and have a look at some up close and in person and test drive one. I'm sure you'll be hearing from me more often hahah.. Chris.

andynogo Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 (edited) I'm looking at buying a 2002-2003 ARX turbo but was wondering what people are paying for insurance now. I'm finding it difficult to get a quote as it's a "dodgy import" (same old story I had back in 2001 with my u13 bluebird attesa). Oh, I'm in WA, 38 (old git) etc etc so should be able to get reasonable rates.... Love the car but I don't feel like paying $1100 a year for insurance especially when something like a turbo territory is $615!
